AccuCreep:
The AccuCreep program, with intake modifying
technology to help control consumption, can
improve feed conversion by up to 33%. This program
will provide the same gain as the pelleted creep but
utilizes less feed. When starting this program, we first
introduce calves to feed with the pelleted Rangeland
Calf Creep and then transition around 30 days later
to AccuCreep. AccuCreep is a grain mix containing
cracked corn and Accuration Range 33 supplement,
which contains the intake modifying technology.
This technology allows the calves to “snack eat”
rather than consuming a few large meals per day.
With this program, producers need to monitor their
calves’ feed intake. Ideally, calves will consume
about 1% of their body weight per day on this
program.
By implementing fly control and creep feeding
programs on your operation with the products
mentioned, you will see great performance and
productivity results. River Valley Cooperative’s
Livestock Specialists are here to be a resource
for your cattle nutrition needs and be an active
contributor to your farm. They will help you
reach your goals and make the best decisions on
your operation. Please reach out if you have any
questions at all on the topics covered.
